How would someone go about making a "Tag" function?

Similar to the one in Jailbreak. I've tried countless times and none of them worked. Not meaning to ask anyone for the script but could anyone possible guide me through it?

On contact with another player a UI will pop in (I've already made it and tweened it) The ui says "Hold E To Tag"

You should probably just check the distance between players instead of having each of their parts have a touched event and if you want it to be similar to jailbreak.

01local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
02local contextService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
03 
04local ply = game.Players.LocalPlayer
05local char = ply.Character
06local ui = ply.PlayerGui.TagUi  --Assuming this is a ScreenGui
07 
08ply.CharacterAdded:connect(function(c)
09    char = c
10end)
11 
12function tweenUi()
13    --Put Code to tween your Ui and tag progress 
14end
15 
16function searchTarget() --Check if player is in range
17    local dis = 3
18    local tar = nil
19 
20    for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
21        if v.Character and v.Character ~= char then
22            local tDis = (v.Character.PrimaryPart.Position-char.PrimaryPart.Position).magnitude
23            if tDis < dis then
24                dis = tDis
25                tar = v
26            end
27        end
28    end
29    if target then
30        ui.Enabled = true
31        target = tar
32        contextService:BindAction("tagTween",tweenUi,false,Enum.KeyCode.E)  --Binding tag function to key
33    else
34        ui.Enabled = false
35        contextService:UnbindAction("tagTween")
36    end
37end
38 
39runService:BindToRenderStep("findTarget",0,searchTarget)    --More functionality than while loop
